RED FCP7 Capture on MAC PRO with Blackmagic Decklink Extreme
Dear Friends,
I am screwed.
The RED drive we recorded to (3K – 48fps) won’t mount on any computer but the footage is playable inside the camera. I am attempting to capture from the camera and I am not getting anywhere… no signal.RED FCP7 Capture on MAC PRO with Blackmagic Decklink Extreme
Please give me some guidance any time you can. In the mean time, I am going to the hardware store for rope.
Be back soon.
Thanks

An update for you, I see signal on the broadcast monitor with the signal going through the card in the mac, but FCP says “No Input Signal”
How can that be?
Does anyone have a workaround?

I have tried all output options from the RED.
Input using the HDSDI in to the Decklink extreme… far right of the three connectors at the back of the computer. -
When using a DeckLink for capture you need to set FCP up with a “Easy Setting” that works for your camera output signal. Basically whatever is hooked up to that input HD-SDI on the decklink.
After a little research, I have this advice: check to make sure HD-SDI output is enabled in the menu as only one output is enabled at a time and you’ll need to set FCP up on a 720p59.94 setting. That is apparently the only signal that the RED will output.
You may want to hook up a monitor to the HD-SDI that can do that setting on the pass through to make sure signal there.
Good luck.
